20 Cute Puppies & Dogs at Weddings

Whether they stand up with you at the ceremony as an honorary bridesmaid or groomsman, walk down the aisle as a flower girl or ring bearer, or join guests in the crowd as a witness to your nuptials, having your dog with you on the day you become a true family is high on many couples' lists when choosing a location, venue, and more. If you'll be having your pup attend the wedding, just be sure to have a plan: Will someone take him or her home after photos are taken, will they make an appearance at the reception only, or will you hire a professional to watch the dog on-site, so you can enjoy the festivities with all of your guests?

Regardless of how you and your future spouse choose to include your dog, the opportunity creates a great excuse to find adorable outfits and flourished collars for man's best friend – and it'll bring a great element to your wedding album.
